Right you are,
Drew. In fact, the MacDonald Exercises (#6 and #7 from the book
Golf, Robert MacDonald, 1927) were the basis for Phase II. See
http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4435 and click on the images to enlarge.
A modified Mehlhorn drill (from the book
Golf Secrets Exposed, Bill Mehlhorn and Bobby Shave, 1984) was the basis of Phase I.
Bill Mehlhorn was a premier ball striker and a three-time leading money winner on the PGA Tour in the '30s. [I strongly recommend this book and have arranged with
Bobby Shave a 20 percent discount for LBG members. Just drop Bobby a line at
info@mehlhorngolf.com, tell him which products you want (I recommend the videos, too) and that you're a friend of Lynn Blake Golf. That will do it.]
The bottom line is that the
basics I teach stretch back at least a century (to
Harry Vardon). But the
precision I teach goes back only to 1969, the date
Homer Kelley published the first edition of
The Golfing Machine. Finally, the
application I teach is unique to each student and is often 'made up' on the fly. I see the motion as it
is and then, as it could
be. My communication skills and the player's dedicated effort bridge the gap.
It is what I do.
